The Rise and Fall of Muslim Rule in the Iberian Peninsula

For centuries, Muslims ruled the Iberian Peninsula, fostering a vibrant culture of learning alongside Jewish scholars. However, from the 700s to the 1000s, the unity of Muslim factions weakened, exposing Al-Andalus to a prolonged Christian Reconquista. This military campaign culminated in the 15th century when the Catholic Monarchs, Ferdinand and Isabella, unified Spain and expelled Jews and Muslims. The infamous Inquisition targeted dissenters, resulting in thousands of executions and significantly altering the religious landscape of the region by 1492.
